From the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, the third track: "For Forever". The said musical is written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, performed by Ben Platt.
I'm working on the other tracks from the cast recording! Leave a like or subscribe for more. :))
Everyone talks about the messed up lies Evan tells other ppl in this play. But he's telling the lies to himself too. That's the saddest thing. This song is him living in his own lie.
Here's a nice reply for a comment from a year ago.
same for this one too
here's a nice reply for a comment from three years ago
A comment from 4 years ago!
w o w idk I'm tired and need sleep
"Quoting songs by our favorite bands
Telling jokes no one understands
Except us two"
just described my life
Yup
I LOVE YOUR PFP
[lili] a lie?
Me and friends are in a band, and one of them has a book of our inside jokes in her backpack.
Same
We all wish this was the truth.
That’s the point.
The first time I heard this song was before I heard/knew the full musical and it was all “oh this song is such a cute song about his best friend” and then guess what? It’s all a lie
*listens to sincerely me and for forever*
this musical is so sweet! this friendship is so strong uwu
*listens to everything else*
FUCKING LIES
I'm only listening to the songs, since I havent found any footage on yt, and I'm pretty afraid of this comment (it's my first time listening to it)
@@niconico4962 honestly..... FEAR IT YOU THINK IT'S CUTE UNTIL YOU FIND OUT IT WAS A LIE
@@FreakyX_666 I KNOW IT'S A LIE AND HOLY SHIT THIS IS A FUCKING SAD SONG
(Low key had a mini mental breakdown in a party bathroom and sang this to myself to calm me down)
@@niconico4962 Michael in the bathroom
Sorry wrong musical
this song would be so sweet IF IT WERENT ALL A LIE T-T
CeramicLogician yeh
We always have fanfics
it's still sweet!!! Ship time
I know- that made me so sad.
Y E S
The sad part is that nobody comes to get Evan and he is fantasizing or maybe saying what he wished forever or maybe he is trying to convince himself that someone did come
Dragon Drawz he's trying to convince people that Conner was his friend. That he helped Evan
Music Panda
Connor?***
Johnsmovies well no one said spelling was important
Music Panda What kind of shitty English teacher did you have then?
nono, he is trying to convince connor's parents that they were friends, in this song what he told them never happen, he broke him arm by himself, when he was alone.
it's almost 10 o'clock, my family is asleep and then I'm in my room singing "ALL WE SEE IS SKY FOR FOREVER, WE LET THE WORLD PASS BY FOR FOREVER"
Arcadia _ HOMESTUCK
Arcadia _ wish i could do that
I’m reading this at exactly 10:00 and I’m like SAME!
It's like 230 sooo
So me at 2:00am
I really should have sang this song for my audition for my school’s production of Shrek the musical.
Musical of ................... what??
I’m really confused
@@rhizalor3233 It's Shrek. In musical format
Kiss My Ace HAHA WE DID SHREK TOO
@@jess9849 SAME lol
Hey I was in StM too!! What part were you?
This makes me so sad, because this friendship Evan sings about is so simple and sweet. And a lot of what he sings about is just feeling comfortable with someone. Inside jokes. Aimless talking. I think a big message of this play is that people (evan included) tend to focus on romantic connection as the place to find validation and fulfillment. But there are so many different relationships that can give you this. I think Evan starts to really heal when he starts valuing the relationships he already had. He already has the girl who sees beyond the broken parts of him, in his mom.
This song seems so sweet until you realize it's a song about Evan trying to unalive himself hoping someone would stop him
I relate a lot to Evan, I don't have diagnosed anxiety but my dad left when I was 8, that fucked me up and gave a lot of problems to make friends. Now, 7 years later, I'm proud to say that I am a lot better but sometimes I can't help but feel really lonely. I just wish I had a friend that came to my mind when I listen to this, sadly I don't
I have both my parents and two brothers. The only problem with that is that my ol brothers are perfect in their eyes and then there is me, stuck in the middle. AKA the child who does nothing but wrong cuz that's all they notice. I don't have friends I can talk to and haven't truly smiled since my parents started fighting alot. It's funny how people can come from such different walks of life and bond over a 5 minute song.
@@emilyhanson4792 OML i relate so much its not funny, you are now my best friend ok? cool!
@@stewartsutton8530 okay!! Definitely!!
Hey just remember that the only person that gets to decide your value is YOU. The only person that gets to decide what's "right" or "normal." i have a hard time making friends so i decided i would be my own best friend. It's still taking a lot of hard work but honestly, for me it's easier than looking for attention/ friends where I can't seem to be able to. That works for me. Find what works best for you and work on it. You're worth it ❤
My great grandma died when I was four my uncle went to jail (five years maybe more) and my cat just died but my new kitten and puppy are making me feel better try to talk with someone about this like a therapist or a family member :)
3:39 THE WAY HE SAYS COME TO GET ME BREAKS MY HEART. LIKE HE WANTED SOMEONE TO COME GET HIM SO BADDD 😭😭😭😭
"He's coming to get me..."
Boi my heart ;---;
Buddies? This honestly sounds like more of a romantic ballad to me.
IKR XD
Honestly same. I managed watched the musical before listening to the soundtrack and I didn't think much of it then. But now that I'm listening back to this song and can clearly hear the lyrics. That's like highkey a love song. If I was Connor's family I'd be suspicious and especially Zoe. The guy sings stuff like that about my brother then tries to come on to me just after he dies ? Sounds like he's trying to recreate what he had with my big bro. I would not be into it.
Tbh it could be either, depending on context I think
@@ArturGlass.C didn't u read the book?
Ship!!
This song would make me feel so much happiness and actually have faith in humanity if it wasn't all a DUMB LIE and really about Evan fantasizing what that day would have been like if he just had somebody there with him. ToT
LuckyGoose what do you mean?
i mean that Evan is basically making up all these lies to Connor's family and kinda wondering what that day would have been like if Connor was there.
Can you tell me what's going on in This? Is there diolougue or something I'm missing because just listening to the playlist I don't understand
SPOILER ALERT:
If Connor was alive, it would be like that.
Jordan #00 Connor killed himself and Evan is singing as if they were actually friends. He is telling to Connor's parents and sister what happened, and their friendship and kind of gets into too much, so much that he persuades himself that they were really friends. Also, Evan tried to kill himself, and it's like of Connor was with him and found him, maybe everything would be different. But there is dialogue I'm pretty sure on stage.
This is my personal favorite song from the whole soundtrack.
This is the song two buddies wouldn't say to each other but still feel every word of it. The perfect definition of male bonding. I had one guy friend I would have sang this to, without him hearing me.
ME TOO
First thing I thought of were two friends I’d love to share this with, but know i never will. We don’t have to say or sing anything, we just know.
Dude, it works perfectly with females too... I’m a girl and me and my friend, his describes us to a tee...
For me male bonding is insulting each other till we become friends.Stereotypical I know.
GUESS WHAT IT'S A LIE. what a pityy
My eyes are sweating
That may be a problem, talk with your doctor or take (insert over the counter medication) dont take this if your allergic to it. If you die talk with your docter about quitting.
@@charnightt dude, you're replying to a comment from two years ago😂
@@jamssy3409 yes, I know, I'm that person who will comment on old and new comments.
@@charnightt me too..
Yes I can Relate
I let this song make me feel.
OK...so I'm now a Ben Platt fan. Since yesterday evening. Saw Canadian figure-skater Jeffrey Buttle skate to this song at an ice show. Wondered who the deuce this singer was with the voice halfway between Josh Groban and John Denver. Thanks to Google and UA-cam...now I'm a Ben Platt fan.
Welcome to the cult
You know, this song is a lie cause all of this never happened between him and Connor, but I feel like it's also a dream Evan had. To be happy with a friend.
I remember when I first listened to this song, and I thought it was the sweetest song in the world
now im just mad cuz it's all a LIE
ok this is unrelated to the comment but why does it seem like the Venn diagram of Undertale fans and musical fans is like a circle
@@funnylittlecreature ok what
@@lotsostuff4722 If I ask an Undertale fan if they like musicals 99% they respond yes
I have listened to this song to many times
I am getting into this musical. It started with Hamilton(My favorite), BMC(Freaking love it), Heathers(Meh), now this. This is so sad so far. And I love it
You know how you said "meh" for Heathers? Yeah, M.E.H is Evan's initials
Same expect it was Hamilton Heathers BMC and now DEH
I started with Heather's then Hamilton, be more chill, and now I'm here. XD
PuppyDogLover #1 I went with Hamilton, then Heathers, then BMC and now this. Everything’s my favorite.😂
PuppyDogLover #1
For me it was Hamilton, bmc, 21 chump st, heathers then here then wicked
This song made me cry but I still love this song
This song is curing my daughters depression.
That's... that's actually beautiful. Sending condolences, even if I don't know her.
Cheree Cooper this song gave me depression
Geeky Duck ?
thats good to hear :)
Frutii. Sliimes listen to it with context
Unbelievable song. One of the best in the whole show. Great lyrics. Best song ever about Friendship.
That moment when you realize this song is also about the day Evan tried to take his own life falling from a tree.
Want lyrics:
It's in the video
Lol
Hahahaha
nice pfp
I wanted lyrics to screenshot
Animism-phun27_ Lol LMAOOOO
Me crying because this vision is so beautiful but all that actually happened is he tried to die and no one cared
Oh Taehyung, damn soo precious, 💖
It’s so sad what he’s doing. Lying to the world to make everything quote on quote better. I know he wants to help but you should never lie like that
@@michaillazarou girlfriend??? Sweetheart no
I always get shivers when I sing this.
People who have only heard the song: Aww, this is so cute. It's about best friends!
People that have seen the musical: This is actually pretty sad.
So here's the song where he breaks his arm...
No this is a recollection of what he wishes happened that day
Ciarán Purcell i figured that out after listening to the full soundtrack, and illegally downloading the script.
Zachery Pines you did WHAT
If you look up Dear Evan Hansen slime tutorial you find the entire thing
@@zacherypines9872 HOW DID YOU ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD THE SCRIPT
Lol I tried to sing this and I had to go an octave higher
As most girls would need to do. Altos might have less of a struggle.
@@logansanders8838 definitely struggling to sing this low
I have to sing this an octave lower RIP, hate being baritone sometimes 😂
I have an alto's range so I hardly struggle singing this but I curse how silent and powerless my range is this low 😬
@@checkm8964 i can sing almost the entire song only the end is uuugh, cracks to my head voice
I'm here after seeing taehyung recommended this song and guess what I'm in love with this. It's soo beautiful!
I think I broke the replay button...not care
How can I imagine every line of this ballad 🥺💜
It's beautiful
this song is the reason why listening to musicals without context can be dangerous
This song makes me cry because this is just what Evan wanted and needed, but he never had it, so he made this scenario up that became real in his head. :( :( :(
Everything that taehyung recommended is a masterpiece
I wonder when Evan is saying "we could go on forever," he's really saying that if Connor and him both had each other they would have felt like they could continue on.
Finding this legendary song as it is recommended by Kim Taehyung...
Thank you Taehyung 💜
I'm crying...
Same here :')
5 minutes ago I was watching funny youtube vids, minding my own business, and now I'm crying. WTF???
I came here because Kim Taehyung suggested it!
Challenge: Try to sing this laying down with a laptop on your stomach. It's a lot harder.
i can do it
Lumynn Cloud
*i did it*
Im watching this in my phone
Even more of a challenge: Try singing even though you have no singing skill or ability.
I use a phone but use books
Good i like this song soo much its so sad but so happy it makes me cry of joy its real uplifting
This song made me cry. It's so cute. 😭💞
I like how they had to say buddy/buddies or friends to clarify this wasn’t a romantic song. Because this really does sound like a romantic ballad
bro, I started listening to musicals and then saw this, started watching it and then i found out it was a book, so i got the book, and I actually cried while reading.
"True friends"
I cried about two to three times when I heard this song since it reminded me of my middle school friend who moved when she and I were in 7th grade. I missed her so much! 😭😭 She and I were best friends since 5th grade!
Is it a bad sign when you recognize traits from a kid with social anxiety in yourself? Unsure if this is something that everyone feels, but specifically having no friends and having no way of getting friends and having no one to talk to about your lack of friends is something I relate to? Like, really REALLY relate to. Except I haven't jumped out of a tree yet...
Also, side-note, I wish I could sing this at my school's awards assembly in the autumn for the Y11s leaving the school - perfectly sums up my high school experience haha
Have a slight suspicion I would get taken for an idiot who didn't understand the song by everyone who knows Dear Evan Hansen though, even though my understanding of it is why I want to sing it
Extra side-note, more to myself really - why am I posting all this on a UA-cam comment section oops haha - enjoy reading my trivial info :)
Sad fact: if this song was true, Connor might have decided to stay alive
1:50 I LOVE THE "ME TOO" ADJHGS 💕
tHE FEELS
My boyfriend sent me this. I'm glad he sent this. Love you thv~
awesome video! thank you so much for the lyrics!
So good
Y'all talking about how it's all a lie but don't realize that it doesn't have to be. You can be the friend that people thought Evan was to someone. That's why I'm here to listen right now, because someone is coming to get me when I fall.
It's only a lie until you make it true.
I actually relate a lot to Connor. I act angry when I’m broken inside, I have some of the same mental conditions, and I used to be suicidal.
WHY AM I CRYING THIS ISNT EVEN THE SADDEST SONG!!!!
Man I love mental health awareness. Crippling college anxiety makes this song feel like a fantasy.
the lyricsㅡ 😭🌈❤️
thankyou V for introducing me to this song.
This honestly just reminds me of me and my old friends...I had to move and I have no contacts with any of them and I feel so lost without them, and I just remember the old days...and I realize just how much I’ve grown, I used to say It would take forever before I got older...and now I’m older, I don’t even know if they remember me..I do have another friend- literally my only friend and she does make me feel better but still.
OMG this is me I had to move for an acting job and it took a lot longer then we thought I came back home to see them and there not there I have no contact for them so idk what to do now
Except that this song breaks my heart because it describes the perfect friendship and it's all just a lie... It also breaks my heart because theoretically he sings about his friend he lost.
I had 2 best friends who kind of became enemies of mine. It was maybe everyone's fault, but I kind of feel like they just left me and my other 2 friends because we weren't cool enough for them. That's not the point. The point is the fact he sings about how he could imagine going on for forever with his best friend, but lost him is exactly how I feel. I imagined our whole life with our friendship; us 5, the group nobody thought could break. But it did. I imagined us meeting on university when we have time, talking shit about our professors, guys who made us disappointed, family dramas. Inviting each other for our weddings, having fun. Meeting as mums, taking little breaks from our regular life and just talking, discussing everything, sharing our secrets with each other. But this won't ever happen.
I believed until January 2020 this script will play. Now, 3 months later I know it won't.
It won't go on for forever, our friendship wasn't for forever.
I miss our old days and the hope for this future.
I'm here because taehyung recommended it ♡
YAS I love you Evan!
Evan Hansen is a *REALLY* good actor, he made this so believable
Congrats Ben Platt, you're really good at acting like an actor.
That was confusing...
Say, Dear Evan Hansen 10 times fast
Say, Sincerely me 10 times fast
Say, For Forever 10 times fast
Say, Good For You 10 times fast
K bye, this actually reminds me of the time I was at my friends house, really cool person btw & she has a gate that leads to her neighbors, they have 4 adorable little dogs, they also have this *HUGE* tree. So my friend and I clim-
*friend slaps me bcz this comment is too long*
No Complete The Story PLS !!
Kim Taehyung’s song recommendation is not a joke ♥️
I am thinking of singing this for my school audition for Newsies any suggestions
This is my first ever audition!
I got the part btw 😆
@@jokus3125 nice, great job. 👍
@@jokus3125 Great job 😀
Taehyung suggested this song to sing for their lover and I couldn't agree more
This is amazing 😍💜💜
Thank you Taetae for recommending ✨💜👑🐻🐯
sir this is dear evan hansen
this song has never failed to make me cry
THAT LITTLE “ME TOO” OMFG IM CRYING
I'm here for TaeTae💜
Estoy aquí por TaeTae💜✨
Okay but the emotion in "and i see him come to get me, he's come to get me, and everything is okay" he really hoped that someone was there coming to get him...
beautiful
When the precious freckled white boi forgets to yell, “NO hOMO,” in the beautiful voice of Ben plait.
That feeling you get when you realize that Evan's line about climbing the tree was actually based on his own attempt at suicide. Nobody was there for him and this song, despite the fact he's lying to Connor's family, could be interpreted as him fantasizing about having the one thing he never got; A real friend. Anyone who could've waved back at him from the window. For all he knew, Connor might have been that person if he lived further. All he can come up with is what he thinks other people want to hear. This song's lyrics, as opposed to the others in the show, are more on the nose and less metaphorical, because Evan's simply bad at lying and he isn't really expressing his real self or emotions here. Only an imitation of what he thinks a perfect day may look like. Except he doesn't have a real friend to share it with.
Come on, don't make us cry again
Who loves this, "When You Wish Upon A Star", "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes", "My Immortal", and "I Could Fall In Love"?
Say what you want about this movie, it wasn't perfect by all means.
But Ben Platt's voice is fking *angelic.* He's the only one who can actually reduce me to tears with his voice. I remember watching this movie in the cinema and crying like a baby because this song triggered some kind of mental montage of me and my best friend throughout the past 10 years. Just remembering when we first met, the laughs we've had, seeing the best and worst parts of eachother's lives, and how far we've both come now. This song helped me reflect on how much I value him. I'm very lucky.
No puedo ver la mitad del video porque ya estoy llorando
Who's here after V recommendation😄
vmin 😍😍
Yeah
Thank you! I love it! :)
Yes?
despite the whole song ,i- TIL THE ENTIRE SUN SHINES ON MY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
